age-friendliness of communities
+ Congratulations to the Transportation Task Force on their award from AVCOG
Vision: Towns involved in the Age-Friendly Community Initiative (AFCI) are communities where people of all ages are welcomed, respected, encouraged to participate in the civic and social life of the communities, and are able to age in the community and their homes as long as they wish. |
AFCI NEWS
* It's finished! Our new Resource Directory is found under "Resources" - Directory of Local Services above. It has been created to provide useful information about services - both local and statewide - for older citizens (and others). * We have begun an ambitious Home Safety Project. The first piece is our purchase of an impressive collection of adaptive tools for home use, including things like kitchen helpers and aids to facilitate vision and manual dexterity. We’ll be displaying the tools collection this fall, including at the Bethel Area Senior Citizens meeting/luncheon on Wednesday, September 13, the October 6 Seniors Plus Aging Well, Living Well expo at Sunday River and the Alliance Church’s Community Supper in October. |
You can follow AFCI news in our weekly Bethel Citizen column and our monthly newsletters archived here. (AFCI Newsletters)
